华为 平板 surface_Surface Duo-Microsoft的可折叠平板手机。

Could this bring Microsoft back into the smartphone realm or is it going to be another disaster?

难道这会使微软重返智能手机领域，还是另一场灾难？

The company’s last effort to make a smartphone of their own wasn’t so successful. They launched their last windows phone in 2016, which was a complete failure, and they are back after 4 years into the smartphone market with their Surface phone, but what are they doing differently this time, which could make it a success for the company?

该公司最后一次制造自己的智能手机的努力并没有取得成功。 他们在2016年推出了最后一部Windows Phone，这是一次彻底的失败，并且他们用Surface Phone进入智能手机市场已经有4年了，但是这次他们做了什么不同的工作，这可能使公司成功吗？

First, they are not using any version of Windows 10 optimized for the phone. Yes, you heard it right, the company learned from their past mistakes, and they went with Android this time, “Smart move, Isn’t it”?

首先，他们没有使用针对手机优化的任何Windows 10版本。 是的，您没听错，该公司从过去的错误中吸取了教训，这次他们选择了Android， “明智之举，不是 吗？ ” ？

What else has changed?

还有什么改变了？

They have a well establish Surface line of laptops and hybrid devices, and the same design language has been translated into their new Surface phone, it has an all-glass design, and it is the thinnest folding phone as it sits at 9.9mm of thickness when folded. But, With those curved corners it looks a Lil bit like a Nintendo 3DS XL, isn’t it?

他们拥有完善的Surface系列笔记本电脑和混合设备产品，并且将相同的设计语言翻译到了他们的新Surface手机中，采用了全玻璃设计，并且它是最薄的折叠手机，厚度仅为9.9mm折叠时。 但是，在那些弯角处，看起来有点像Nintendo 3DS XL，不是吗？

The design of the phone is attractive, which can attract some crowd towards the phone, but, what about the people who are more focused on; what this device could do rather than, what it looks like. The main focus of the device is productivity and creativity, and it is the sexiest device they have ever designed, says Panos Panay (Chief Product Officer of Microsoft).

手机的设计很吸引人，可以吸引一些人涌向手机，但是，那些专注于手机的人呢？ 该设备可以做什么，而不是外观。 Panos Panay(微软首席产品官)说 ，该设备的主要重点是生产力和创造力，这是他们设计过的最性感的设备。

So, what we need to understand is; they are targeting a specific customer base like many other companies and their devices. We have phones which only target gaming, for example, Asus ROG Phone and Nubia Red magic, etc, and then, we have phones which are more design-focused, for instance, Motorola’s Moto Razr and Samsung Galaxy z Flip.

因此，我们需要了解的是： 他们针对的客户群像许多其他公司及其设备一样。 我们拥有仅针对游戏的手机，例如Asus ROG Phone和Nubia Red magic，等等，然后，我们拥有更加注重设计的手机，例如，摩托罗拉的Moto Razr和Samsung Galaxy z Flip。

Microsoft is targeting more executive customer base rather than everyday mobile users, but this does not mean that there is nothing for an average consumer in it. It could be an amazing device for someone who reads a lot, and dual-screen adds additional features such as taking notes while reading, a feature called app groups, you can create combos of your favorite apps, in case of reading it could be Kindle and One-Note, you can check 2 social media at once possibilities are unlimited. it will lay the groundwork for future dual-screen devices — Panos Panay. As there are not a lot of apps optimized to work on this form factor yet, but Microsofts full office suite is optimized for the dual-screen functionality, and Google should have adapted to it as well.

微软瞄准的是更多的高管客户群，而不是日常的移动用户，但这并不意味着普通消费者没有任何东西。 对于阅读大量内容的人来说，这可能是一个了不起的设备，双屏添加了其他功能，例如在阅读时做笔记；该功能称为应用程序组 ；您可以创建自己喜欢的应用程序的组合，如果阅读的话可能是Kindle。和One-Note，您可以一次检查2种社交媒体的可能性是无限的。 它将为未来的双屏设备Panos Panay打下基础。 由于尚无许多应用程序可以在这种外形上进行优化，但是Microsoft的完整办公套件已针对双屏功能进行了优化，Google也应该对其进行调整。

Let’s talk about tech specs:

让我们来谈谈技术规格：

Screen: The phone is rocking dual 5.6" AMOLED displays which have 401 PPI and it opens up and makes it an 8.1" AMOLED display with 401 PPI, both the displays are separated by a little seam in the middle and, to be honest, the device has pretty big bezels to my taste.

屏幕：手机正在摇晃具有401 PPI的双5.6英寸AMOLED显示屏，它将打开并使其成为具有401 PPI的8.1英寸AMOLED显示屏，两个显示屏中间都被一个小缝隔开，说实话，我的设备有很大的边框。

Microsoft did not follow anyone this time by designing all-screen folding phones like the competitors. We have seen the folding phones with all-screen implementation, such as the Samsung galaxy fold, Huawei mate X, and both the phones have that ugly crease in the middle, which I dislike and, I would rather go for a seam. That makes the device more durable and Practical.

微软这次没有像竞争对手那样设计全屏折叠手机，因此没有跟进任何人。 我们已经看到了具有全屏实现的折叠式手机，例如三星银河折叠，华为mate X，并且这两款手机的中间都有难看的折痕，我不喜欢，我宁愿缝一下。 这使得该设备更加耐用和实用。

The dual-screen adds the unique functionalities to the phone which are — Dual screen windowing, Adaptive modes, App Groups, etc. It has a 360-degree hinge which makes it more flexible and hence can be used in different ways to consume media. You can put it in a tent mode and watch a video. You do not have to hold the device in your hands to present something to someone because of the thoughtful design. Imagine playing games on this device, where you have the controls on one screen and gameplay on the other.

双屏为手机增添了独特的功能-双屏窗口，自适应模式，应用程序组等。它具有360度铰链，使其更加灵活，因此可以以多种方式用于消费媒体。 您可以将其置于帐篷模式并观看视频。 由于设计周到，您无需手持设备即可向他人展示某些东西。 想象一下在此设备上玩游戏，您在一个屏幕上拥有控件，而在另一个屏幕上拥有游戏性。

There are numerous possibilities, but is it enough? Well, the phone looks amazing, it may not do wonders for the company but they are definitely on the right path.

有很多可能性，但是足够了吗？ 好吧，电话看起来很棒，它可能不会给公司带来奇迹，但绝对是正确的道路。

What could lead them to another disaster?

是什么导致他们再次遭受灾难？

1. Well, is it the right time for the company to launch a $1400 device when so many people do not have jobs and the economy is crumbling. Nobody would want to pay this hefty price for a smartphone during this pandemic, I won’t.
   好吧，这是公司推出1400美元设备的合适时机，因为有这么多人没有工作，经济正在崩溃。 在这种大流行期间，没有人愿意为智能手机支付这么高的价格，我不会。
2. At this price point, I would want flagship specs, but they went with Snapdragon 855, instead of 865. it doesn’t support WiFi 6 and 5G.
   在这个价格点上，我想要旗舰规格，但是它们使用的是Snapdragon 855，而不是865。它不支持WiFi 6和5G。
3. The phone has 2 or 3 fewer cameras compared to the competition.
   与竞争对手相比，这款手机的相机数量少了2到3个。

4. The phone just have a Mono speaker; it has dual screens, batteries, why not a dual stereo speaker? I know you were working on this since last year but you had plenty of time to spec it up, Come on, Microsoft.

   手机只有单声道扬声器； 它具有双屏幕和电池，为什么不提供双立体声扬声器？ 我知道您从去年开始就在从事此工作，但是您有足够的时间对其进行说明，微软 ， 来吧。

In the end, It all comes down to how much money do you want to spend on a Smartphone, People are leaning more towards budget-friendly smartphones and most of the companies are trying to reach that customer base by launching an inexpensive smartphone, for example, Google Pixel 4a, Apple iPhone SE, OnePlus Nord, etc, and Microsoft did the opposite.

最后，一切都取决于您要在智能手机上花费多少钱，人们越来越倾向于预算友好的智能手机，并且大多数公司都在试图通过推出廉价的智能手机来吸引该客户群。 ，Google Pixel 4a，Apple iPhone SE，OnePlus Nord等，而Microsoft则相反。

Once again, it is a beautiful-looking device, and there is definitely a market for it. There are hardcore Surface fans out there who won’t care about price or the specs they would want to get their hands on one for sure.

再次，它是一个外观漂亮的设备，并且肯定有市场。 那里有一些核心的Surface粉丝，他们不会在乎价格或他们肯定会想要买到的规格。

Best of Luck, I hope you’ll do well this time.

祝您好运，我希望您这次能过得好。
